This was a good one. Hate I missed the Chico track. 

1 - Sick production. Sounds lovely. Great singing and playing. Nothing to dislike here. My dad was a shag DJ (shag being the music they call "northern soul" elsewhere in the world) and this is right in line with what they call "beach music" around these parts. You could probably hear this in Myrtle Beach during SOS weekend. No names here though but I'm familiar some with this singer. Name escapes me at the moment.  2 - Sax player has a tinge of Pharaoh Sanders but it's not him. Or maybe it is? The accompanying instrumentation just doesn't bring Sanders to my mind. And the sax seems to be played faster than Sanders would.  3 - 6: No guesses for any of these. Great playing on all songs. 5 & 6 are the most enjoyable of this group, although the vocals on 6 are iffy to my ears. The Rhodes and guitar on 5 are excellent.  7 - Like this song. Drumming and percussion work and the rest of the band are good. No idea unfortunately.  8 - Another great tune. Vibes are well played. The groove is excellent. Seems like this would be a Hutcherson track?  9 - Fantastic. Tolliver? Wasn't going to guess him until the trumpet started.  10 - Familiar song and one I enjoy. Unfortunately I have no guesses in mind.  11 - Good vibe, enjoyable. Singing is good.  Seemed like lots of piano in the foreground on this BFT. Not a bad thing! Enjoyed it. Thanks for putting it together 🍻  

Might've been Iggy Shevak, who was also infamous for ratting

Totally understand busy work months. Retirement doesn't stop them either! Another, even earlier than this one, Gil reimagining of a Brecht/Weil thing is this: Not as radical as this Barbara, but still, getting there from here kinda boggles my mind, still.

"The Complete Blue Note 1964-66 Jackie McLean Sessions" is my favorite Mosaic box set. While most of it is available on single CDs or streaming services, the inclusion of the so-called “High Frequency” session—which has never been available on CD except this box —earns it major points. The live recordings from SteepleChase feature the repertoire from this period.  I really want BN to release "High Frequency" (and my another favorite, "Hipnosis" ) as a single CD or for streaming.
